MF again on K-5/A135:
In camera forums people often post all the good shots with supposedly "lesser" gear. But selected pictures dont tell the whole story. Fact is I do get higher keeper rate after upgrading my camera to one with better AF. My only regret is not doing so sooner, because from reading camera forums I come to the assumption that it's not the gear, but me. Other people can take all these great photos, so surely it's not the gear! Well thankfully that is false, and the gear really was holding me back. (
disclaimer: this is MY personal experience, may not apply to everyone)
Either way, I'm happy with the gear that I have now. I just want others that feel they might be held back by their gear
please do look at other options that you think might work better. Be skeptical about all claims of camera performance posted on the internet, whether positive or negative. Life is too short!
